Update from Cartagena, Colombia

At last we finally made it to Cartagena, Colombia! We spent 8 days bay hopping along the coasts of Venezula and Colombia. I have many stories to tell and many photos to share, however, I cannot do so at the moment as we´ve been hit with some unfortunate news. Upon our arrival here in Cartagena, the owner smacked us in the face with a whammy. He hated every second of our travels here and decided he doesn´t want to keep his boat anymore. He isn´t willing to put the money into it because he won´t see a return on his investment as quickly as he hoped. Furthermore, things keep breaking on the boat despite our efforts to fix them, and he just can´t keep up with it (financially). Therefore, Mike and I are now going to be left in Cartagena while the owner tries to take his boat to Panama and sell it. He has fought us over getting the necessary repairs done in order to make the boat safe (which he promised to do here in Cartagena), and since he hates Cartagena, he´s going to continue on to Panama with the boat in an unstable condition. Mike and I don´t want to risk sailing with the boat in this condition as it was risky enough just getting here to Cartagena. So, given all this information we´ve now got less than 10 days before he leaves and we are once again homeless (the time is undetermined when he will leave as he tends to just get up and go when he´s unhappy and will not give us a straight answer). Fortunately, we convinced him to buy us plane tickets, so we may be heading back to California if we can´t find another boat here to hop aboard. I will post updates here and also try to write about our great sail over soon, but for now its a rush of packing and job hunting. There is never a dull moment with this life!
